We made a quick trip to Austin, Texas this past weekend. And it was PACKED full with fun stuff. Friday night, we arrived around 6:30, and were out the door by 7:30pm for dinner at our new favorite Mexican restaurant, Verde's. Too bad we have to travel 6+ hours to get there! Then, after dinner we watched Eric eat 1/2 a tub (24.8 oz to be exact) of frozen yogurt at one of those trendy spots where you build it and pay per ounce. Saturday, we woke up bright and early for Lauren's soccer game.

These two crazy boys kept us on our toes! When we showed up on their doorstep Friday night, and Cannon and Brandt saw each other, they just started laughing and jumping up and down, and took off into the house to play! It was so funny!

Then, we went to a ward party, came home for naps and a quick dinner. And on to the main reason we came to Austin. Our good friends from college have a daughter who is in remission from brain cancer, and SHE'S TWO! They had a 5K fundraiser for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, and we wanted to be there!

Eric and Ryan turned this meaningful fundraiser into the "fastest brother competition". It should be obvious who won!

Ryan, Wendy, Eric and Cecily all ran! Wendy killed everyone in the 1 mile race, and the boys did a great job in the 5K (Ryan beating the yogurt bloated brother, Eric!) and Cecily ran an impressive 5K also!

Here's Lila, the Survivor, running in the race with her grandpa!

Here she is crossing the finish line with her parents and big brother, who also ran!

Cecily making it across the finish line!

The old college gang. We look the same, right!?!

I couldn't explain to Cannon that the chocolate chip cookies, donuts, bagels, bananas and water, were for the runners! Well, it kept him happy!

Who looks more worn out?

After the race, it was BED TIME! Everyone was exhausted, and filthy! Especially our crazy boys.

It was a great trip! (Although we could have done without Brenna beginning her stomach bug until after we arrived home. Instead, we filled several Ziploc bags in the speedy 6 hour (should be 7) drive home! Yet, definitely glad we went!
